COMING OFF TRANQUILLIZERS: POINTS TO REMEMBER
1. Hold your head up—you are brave. What has happened is not your fault.
2. Do your ‘homework’—breathing exercises, diet, exercise, relaxation, cultivating optimistic thoughts.
3. Remember it has taken you a long time to get into this state. Recovery won’t come overnight.
4. You are the only person who knows what it feels like to be in your body. Ignore the person who says you should be well after two weeks.
5. Smile—the real you is still there!
Often great emphasis is placed on the physical, emotional, and mental health of the individual. Spiritual well-being is ignored. ‘How can that possibly affect the way I am feeling?’ Some believe that this is the most important area to explore.
Many have discovered or renewed their faith in God by the experience of nervous illness.
In the search for inner peace and relief from ‘disease’, some people have found spiritual healing the answer. Following the discipline of yoga or meditation has been the way for others.
Suffering Is Not All Bad
It can be a time for learning, and because of new insight, a time for reaching out to those in distress around you.
